Great, cable news vultures at work. Another shooting tragedy turned into a national media Lollapalooza. Mass killers look back at all the attention their predecessor murderers caused and that is a big fueler of the next event.

I accept that this is an important news story and reporting it is what they do, but there’s nothing about this story that can’t be thoroughly covered within a segment or two of a regular newscast. This saturation coverage is boring and it’s wrong.
I haven’t had cable news on once today and it was only on for s short time yesterday. I’m liking this so maybe I’ll avoid cable news more often.

They do their required dance about not giving the shooter too much ‘publicity’, while the story gets wall-to-wall coverage. Every nut out there sees it, and thinks how cool it would be. To say nothing of victims dealing with this thing that happened, and the sudden, bizarre “fame” that follows. It’s multiple layers of fcked up.

It’s a terrible crime, but I see no point in going over it for endless hours and days. What more is there to say about it?
July 22, 2012 at 9:19 pm
It seems as though these things happen a lot more frequently than they used to. It also seems as though a ‘Guinness Book’ mentality is becoming part of it. Like, higher numbers mean greater coverage. I have thought for a long time that mass shootings have somehow become a part of the language of sickness, so to speak, and saturation coverage does no good for anyone.

It’s like people are trying to get the highest score. The media needs to make a secret-handshake decision amongst themselves to stop feeding this. Report the horrible crime the first night, then drop it. Everything the public needs to know about this shooting was out there by late Friday night. But no…we have to have “special reports” two days later. What, is this to cover people who may have missed it?

And this business of covering the memorial services is offensive to me, I don’t care how many times it happens. From ten o’clock, CNN has this sweet little chyron that says “Aurora’s people start to heal”. Shut. The fck up. It’s been TWO DAYS. Don’t even…

To hear Don Lemon in hushed tone asking a distraught widow, “How are your kids holding up?” was more than I could take in yesterday’s sampling. I couldn’t hit the “off” button fast enough.
